Steamed Spicy Chicken Recipes

EASY STEAM CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place chicken and salt in a bowl. Evenly rub salt into chicken. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Rinse chicken and place in a pot fitted with a steamer basket over water. Bring water to a boil, and steam chicken until juices run clear, about 30 minutes.
• Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion and cook until tender. Mix in garlic, and cook about 1 minute. Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil, and remove from heat. Scoop over the chicken to serve. Garnish with cilantro.

LAOTIAN STEAMED SPICY CHICKEN

Steps:

• To make Spice paste: soak the chillies in hot water for 30 minutes or until soft; drain. Place the softened chilies and salt in a food processor and process until a smooth paste is formed. Add all the other paste ingredients one at a time while continuing to run the processor.
• Combine the coconut cream, brown sugar, fish sauce in a large bowl. Add the spice paste and stir together until well combined.
• Stir in the chicken strips.
• Select a round heatproof serving dish which will fit into a large, deep pan. Put the spinach onto the serving dish. Spoon the spicy chicken mixture over the spinach.
• Place a saucer or rack on the base of the pan and pour enough boing water to cover it. Place the dish on top of the saucer or each, cover the pan with a tight fitting lid and steam over medium heat for about 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked.
• Check from time to time that there is enough water in the pan.
• Serve with rice.

SPICY STEAMED CHICKEN IN PARCHMENT

Steps:

• Reconstitute dried ancho chile peppers by placing in a bowl, covering with boiling water, and letting sit for 10 minutes. Do the same with the chipotle chile peppers, but give them 15 minutes to sit.
• Remove ancho chile peppers from the water, remove seeds and veins, and cut into small strips. Remove chipotle chile peppers from the water and remove stems, leaving peppers whole.
• Combine ancho chiles, chipotle chiles, tomato sauce, and garlic in a blender and process until fairly smooth. While mixing, add cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper to the marinade and blend.
• Place chicken breasts and thighs in a large bowl and cover with marinade. Cover and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
• Divide chicken and sauce evenly onto 4 sheets of parchment paper and tie closed with string.
• Pour equal amounts of beer and water into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add a bamboo steamer and place parchment packets inside. Steam until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and juices run clear, about 35 minutes.
• Serve chicken with hot cooked rice and garnish with cilantro.

STEAMED SOY-MARINATED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Into a large, re-sealable plastic bag add the soy sauce, sesame oil, peanut oil, lime juice, ginger, garlic, and cilantro. Seal the bag and shake it to mix the ingredients. Add the chicken breasts and shake it again. Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1/2 hour or up to overnight.
• Pour about 1-inch of water into a wok and bring it to a boil over high heat. Line the bottom of a bamboo steamer with a layer of cabbage leaves. Place the marinated chicken on top of the leaves. Cover the steamer and put it into the wok. Steam the chicken until it is cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes.

SPICY CHICKEN STEAMED DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Place chicken thighs in a medium saucepan and add just enough water to cover completely. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove chicken and allow to cool slightly, reserving cooking liquid.
• Combine soy sauce, ginger, pepper flakes, and green onion in a small jar, shake well and set aside.
• Cut chicken into chunks and place in bowl of food processor. Add mushrooms, onion, hoisin, mustard, and sriracha. Process until ground and well combined.
• Beat egg with the 1 tsp water. Working in small batches, place 1 tbsp of meat mixture on center of each wonton wrapper. Brush two edges with egg wash and fold up sides, corner to corner, to seal well around filling. Fold top corner over and secure with a little more egg wash if desired.
• Bring reserved cooking liquid to simmer in a pan with a steamer basket. Spray basket with cooking spray and place dumplings in basket.
• Cover with lid and steam 8-10 minutes.
• If you would rather cook these like potstickers with a crispy bottom, spray a shallow pan with cooking spray and set over medium heat. Set dumplings directly in pan and pour hot cooking liquid around dumplings to about 1/2 inch deep. Cover and cook 5-6 minutes or until bottoms are brown and crispy. Don't move them around during cooking or they will stick and tear.
• Serve with sauce.
